What you’ll need
- AeroPress brewing set
- Kettle
- Coffee grinder
- Scales
- Timer
- Coffee cup
- Fresh-roasted coffee
- Filtered water
Step 1. Boil water & grind coffee
Boil ~200 g water. Weigh 14–18 g coffee and grind slightly finer than sea salt.
Step 2. Rinse filter & cap
Place a paper filter in the cap and rinse with hot water to remove paper taste and pre-warm your cup.

Step 3. Add coffee to chamber
Add ground coffee to the AeroPress. Avoid spilling grounds into the ring-shaped gutter at the top.

Step 4. Pour hot water
Start the timer. Add ~15 g water to saturate evenly and bloom for 30 seconds, then fill the chamber with the remaining water.

Step 5. Stir
After 60–90 seconds total time, stir 10 times to gently agitate the slurry.
Step 6. Press
Attach the cap with the rinsed filter and press slowly until you hear the air hiss (~30 seconds).

Step 7. Enjoy
Drink as is for a concentrated cup, or add hot water to taste.
